Tuff Turf
Tuff Turf—the self-described “Nihilist new wave” project of former New Jersey punk-rapper Jeff Richie—recently released an 11-track, 28-minute album of synthed-up anthems. Entitled Dead Heat,  the album sounds like there’s more A-ha influence, and less flows to spit. Ahead of a run of east coast gigs this spring, Tuff Turf spends a week touring its adopted home state of Florida.

Tickets to see Tuff Turf play Hooch and Hive in Tampa on Friday, April 7 are still available and start at $10.
